Little bit late on the Free safety debate, but what do you guys think of bringing in a vet free agent FS like Brian Dawkins or Darren Sharper. Sure these guys are both on the downside of their careers, but it seems that this staff seems to really value having a heady vet at the FS position to make sure everyone is in the right position. Both guys would be a huge upgrade over our current FS situation and both guys would come on the cheap (B Dawk only made $2 million base salary last year).

This solution would also enable us to buy some more time to develop our own home grown talent to move into the FS position. I am thinking guys like Reggie Smith or Goldson.

Not so much that I am against the idea of drafting a Taylor Mays, but I would much rather draft an elite RT and be set at the tackle position.

No reason to bring in a stop gap player. The only way these guys are going to get better is by playing them. Reggie Smith or Tarrell Brown will be Walt's successor. Fs needs to be adressed in the draft.

If we're going to bring in a vet, it should be Atogwe who still has plenty of games left in him. I'm a huge Dawkins fan, but there's no reason to bring him in on his last legs.

Dawkins is an awesome FS, but he's not a good fit for the Niners. They need someone to add to the young core who can grow with them. If the Niners were "one guy away" on the verge of a championship, then Dawkins would have to be considered, but as we know, that's not the current state of the team.

I guess I just value the presence of veterans on the team. Most likely Spikes is going to leave, I think Dawkins would fill that outspoken leader position very nicely. That is if we do go for youth at ILB next to Willis.

I am not sold on Mays at the #10 spot and would much rather use that pick on a passrusher or RT. But I am always more interested in a front 7 guy as far as high draft picks.
